PSG feeling primed ahead of Champions League semi-final

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique believes the timing is perfect for their Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund.

Enrique's side have travelled to Germany for Wednesday's first leg having been crowned French champions at the weekend, and with a place in the Coupe de France final against Lyon booked.

The Champions League remains the missing piece for the capital club, and this could be their best chance of securing it, before Kylian Mbappe moves on in the summer.

"We are trying to keep improving and it is just the start of the project," Enrique said. "We have gradually improved our performance levels and now there is one month left until the end of the season, and we are alive in every competition.

"This is the biggest competition in all of Europe with four teams left all capable of reaching the final, so we need to manage our emotions, manage the pressure and play well.

"But we should not be threatened by that pressure. I think we head into it at the perfect stage of our season."

These two sides have already met in this competition this season, having both come through the so-called 'Group of Death' that also included AC Milan and Newcastle last year.

PSG beat Dortmund 2-0 in the Paris but the match in Germany ended in a 1-1 draw.

However, Portuguese striker Goncalo Ramos believes the side has improved since then.

"I think we are more of a team than in the last game against them because we have had more time to work, more time to know each other," he said.

"There were a lot of new players into the club before this season who had never played together but now it is more like a family. When we played here before we didn't have a whole team healthy and now we have everything."
